Why did this get rated down?

Comment by Cthulhu

Looking at the model of Archavon's log, I think the scribblings may be Cuneiform script, one of the oldest written languages, originally from Sumer, known as the cradle of civilisation.

I have absolutely no idea what it says, though. Either somebody at Blizzard will have to translate for us, or we're left waiting for the appearance of a WoW-playing language historian.

Comment by Simore

He's over 9000 years old?:O

Comment by Jinton

This would be a nice anti qq item. On my server (EU Anachronos) there is a ~2:1 ally/horde relationship but the wins/losses are almost identical (a difference of max ~15% iirc) and defense only loses about 60% of the times.

Very useful book if you ask me.

Comment by takakenji

this is just an assumption but during day 900500 or something he says "it gets cold". I don't know what the max was so i cant compare the time, but maybe this is when the lich king came? If its not please downrate, i didn't compare times.

Comment by Darsh

On Garona, both the Horde and Alliance Keep Captured count is identical (and has been before). Does this bug exist on other servers as well?

Day 900500:

Been very boring outside. Archavon go to sleep. Some noises outside, it get cold.

This might be the day that Northrend turned into the frosty glade familiar to those progressing through it... due to the slow drift of it upwards after the Great Sundering.

I have no idea what comes next though.

Comment by Zuleria

Probably it is not the sundering, it maybe the spell that Illidan put to kill the lich king during warcraft 3 that Malfurion stopped, dunno.

Comment by Enquillion

The Sundering happened about 10,000 years ago, however if the Azerothian year is 365 days (I've not seen anything implying otherwise) like ours, then the time between those entries is "only" about 4,000 years. But I have no better guess, perhaps Blizzard just randomly cluttered in a big number of days :)

Comment by Shadowics

This is the timeline as written previous to patch 3.3. Archavon's Log is currently bugged in patch 3.3, I'll write up the new timeline after they fix it..

The Titans shape Azeroth into the world as we know it; Create Archavon.

10 Days Later:

"The makers left. Archavon left here to watch."

The Titans leave Azeroth.

28 Years, 280 Days Later:

"Archavon think journal boring. Take break."

Nothing Happens.

2467 Years, 45 Days Later:

"Been very boring outside. Archavon go to sleep. Some noises outside, it get cold."

"The little people come to Wintergrasp from across the ocean. Fight many times everyday. Archavon watch."

The start of "Wrath of the Lich King". Alliance and Horde forces fight in wintergrasp.

9900 Years, 260 Days Later:

"At night, Archavon sneak out and collect the armor they leave behind. Archavon try to fix. Tough to do."

The reason why Archavon has tier and pvp gear.

9900 Years, 285 Days Later:

"Archavon stop journal. Instead, watch puny little men fight. When they finish, Archavon wake up and see who touch orb fastest."

Comment by Voltt

True. Just wonderin. :)

Comment by Polegara

This seems to have had an update.

I feel even guiltier for killing him now...

Day 214701:

My brothers are back! It turns out they were sleeping in other closed off halls.

I'm a little mad that they left me alone to do all the watching, but I shared my shinier baubles with them anyway because I'm tired of being alone and attacked all the time.

Day 214760:

The violent little people have started attacking my brothers, which is sad. They leave me mostly alone now though, which is not sad.

I think they want the shiny baubles I gave away. I feel guilty now.

Comment by takakenji

please tell me why again we're slaughtering this purely innocent giant who does nothing besides stand there with his two brothers all day long?

i mean, it's not like he's attacking us at all, or a threat.

Comment by Railander

Since people get mad at ninjas, they go to VoA for free epics.

Comment by Karoxen

Asides comedic purposes and inspiring guilt.

If you've got a horrible WG team on your server, this is a slap in the face when you happen to see it.

Your side wins: 80!Other side wins: 1100!

It's not even funny. >_>

Comment by Jacobstx

Archavon needs a hug.. he's so lonely as of 3.3.

I want to visit him, just to hug him and turn away without doing the innocent revenant-kicking-giant harm

Comment by truckman1

possible lore-explanation for the dates being off, granting an excuse for the writers making a mistake:

Maybe when the Curse of Flesh got him, his brain turning organic damaged his internal clock, or his ability to record really precise dates?

Comment by yangman

I think they may misspell some numbers after the update

Comment by Evervescent

Maybe the night elves work off the Lunar Calender. Seeing that they worship a Lunar Deity. A lunar month is approximately 29.53 days. Which, in theory, would make a lunar year 354.36 of our Solar days.

Now, that might not be a large difference between our Solar years being 365, but over the course of 10,000 years, the differences could add up resulting in the "Years vs. Days" Discrepancy found in this log.

Comment by saga1

It would have been cool if Blizzard wrote something after the release of Cataclysm like "Now they all leave me alone" or something along those lines .

Comment by Jarolleon

According to this log people starting raiding VoA 374 days after the fighting over Wintergrasp began, which means that the Alliance and Horde landed in Northrend about a year before the expansion began.
